Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:10:32 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1415299#comment-158672I love the comparing of Iginla in Calgary to Datsyuk in Detroit. The Flames haven’t made the playoffs in what 4 years? The Wings haven’t not missed the playoffs in 22. The Wings are currently sitting in the playoffs and the Flames are not. Pavel has 2 Cups and Iggy has 0. Iggy left (through trade mind you) because the team stunk and wanted to rebuild and he wanted a Cup. Pavel isn’t going anywhere but back to Russia.

Wings are in a retooling phase but I like what they have for the future on D. Dekeyser, Smith and Lashoff along with Kindl who’s played better recently is a nice 4 for the future. Mixed with Kronwall who’s only 32. They also have a few young kids at forward who look pretty good. The Wings aren’t as bad off for the futre as some people think or hope.

As for the deadline they have enough depth, when healthy, so I’m glad he’ll look to add top-end talent. It is what they need.

And no one really cares that we lost Hudler, he was horrible in playoffs and never really did anything his entire time in detroit.

Mon, 01 Apr 2013 22:40:40 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1415299#comment-158435FYI the Wings are working on a new contract with Howard. Profsudz get a clue, for one the Wings are working in some young players and last years UFA’s Suter and Parise wanted to play close to home ala what Dekeyser ended up doing as he signed with the Wings, also the salary cap is dropping next season which means some players will become available plus Holland wisely did not overspend on the UFA’s last season.

Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:42:11 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1415299#comment-158396It is a wicked pipe dream I give you that. Lmao But there is a lot of possibility that something happens. Wings need to do something but it takes bank to get something like they want in return. Very few teams can do it this year. What good would he be in Russia?
